488 Clover Hills DriveBrighton, NY, 14618

Set on a private, park-like acre in one of Rochester’s most coveted enclaves, 488 Clover Hills Drive offers a rare blend of privacy, convenience, and dual school district eligibility for Brighton or Pittsford. Designed by acclaimed local architect Patrick Morabito and built by custom builder Danrich Homes, this 2009 residence replaced a 1947 home valued at $400,000 and was crafted with lasting quality in mind. The six-bedroom colonial spans 4,631 square feet across the first and second floors, with an additional 300 square feet of finished lower-level space ideal for a gym. Inside, the home makes an immediate impression with a grand wood entry door, 10-foot ceilings, Brazilian teak hardwood floors, extensive custom millwork, and an oversized three-car garage with a double-wide driveway. Practical upgrades include central vacuum, Cat5e wiring, a security system, and built-in wall speakers in the living room, kitchen, and bonus room. A first-floor guest bedroom with a full shower adds flexibility for visitors or multigenerational living. The chef’s kitchen features Wood-Mode custom cabinetry, a Wolf six-burner gas range, double wall ovens, a walk-in pantry, granite countertops, and a large sit-in island. A bright breakfast nook overlooks the beautifully landscaped backyard, where more than $300,000 was invested to create expansive lawn space framed by mature trees for privacy. The family room’s coffered ceiling, custom built-ins, and two gas fireplaces enhance the home’s warm, refined character. With five-minute access to Pittsford Wegmans, hospitals, the University of Rochester, and nearby golf courses, the location pairs everyday convenience with a serene acre setting. The 1,800-square-foot basement, already plumbed for a future kitchen and bath, offers additional potential. From hand-selected tile and high-end carpeting to solid-core doors and a distinctive paint scheme, every detail reinforces the difference between a true custom-built home and a builder-grade house. Reintroduced at a price reflecting today’s market, this is a rare Brighton-area opportunity combining sophistication, technology, practicality, and enduring quality.
